These young, determined, courageous Black social workers laid the
foundation for a national organization that would continue to speak
boldly for equitable social justice and human rights for Black families,
children and communities. As stated by NABSW founder, Dr. Shirley Better, NABSW "...allow[s] us the freedom to discuss, among ourselves with no restrictions, the plight of African Americans in the U.S."

Today, the living Founders and the spirits
of those who have transitioned, continue to guide the organization and
remind us of our mission, vision and history.
